This Grade II* listed house is much older than it appears. It is a timber-framed hall farmhouse dating from 1319, extended in the 17th century and cased in fashionable brick in 1707 for Thomas and Joan Lambert, whose initials and the date appear in raised brick in the gable. The listing text is worth reading in full. Much of the pleasing colour of the brick was lost on a damp, cloudy May morning.
